On October 15, a rare combination of Chinese and Western magic movies was released, which was "Turandot: The Origin of the Spell", which Zheng Xiaolong dragged on for twenty years.
After Zheng Xiaolong finished filming "Gua Sha" twenty years ago, someone once asked him to shoot "Turandot: The Origin of the Spell", and as a result, he thought it was impossible, after all, the domestic film industrialization at that time was relatively primitive, not as mature as today.
However, Zheng Xiaolong did not idle during the period, filming a series of national TV dramas such as "Golden Marriage", "The Legend of Mi Yue", and "The Biography of Zhen Huan". Now to pick up the script of "Turandot: The Origin of the Curse" is bound to be drastic.
The cast of "Turandot: The Origin of the Spell" can be called a combination of Chinese and Western + old and young, starring Guan Xiaotong, Dylan Splos are all post-90s, Hu Jun, Jiang Wen, Zou Zhaolong are also familiar actors, the most surprising thing is that Sophie Marceau and Vincent Perez work together again, just buy tickets to see this pair in the theater is worth it.
54-year-old Sophie Marceau and 24-year-old Guan Xiaotong, as the appearance of this play, will probably have a lot of topics.
The story of Turandot: The Origin of the Spell is very simple, somewhat similar to the props of the ring in the spell (the tricolor bracelet) are brought back to the Great Khanate, the princess (Guan Xiaotong) is possessed by the spell, the male protagonist (Dylan Sprose) will not hesitate to save the princess at the cost of his life, and the villain is the general played by Hu Jun.
Hu Jun has just shined in "Chosin Lake", and the role of veterans makes people unable to calm down for a long time. Hu Jun in "Turandot: The Origin of the Spell" plays the villain, I don't know if there will be a counter-cute effect?
Judging from the trailer video, the special effects of "Turandot: The Origin of the Spell" are still powerful, the colors and pictures are full of strong fantasy colors, not a traditional Chinese story, but also not completely applied to Western themes, the leading story is still dominated by Oriental colors, and from the perspective of dress, the story setting should be in the Yuan Dynasty, and the character modeling is quite outstanding.
Director Zheng Xiaolong's reputation is obvious to all, and what he is best at is costume drama. However, for the adaptation of "Turandot: The Origin of the Spell", director Zheng Xiaolong is also shouting difficulties, and he himself does not let go of every detail, every line, and every prop.
You know, Zheng Xiaolong's production must be a fine product, I believe that Zheng Dao's 20 years of grinding a sword, it must also be a sword.
